Is your production starting up for the first time or coming back from hiatus? Central Casting can handle all of your background casting and payroll needs through our premium casting services.

You can trust that our casting directors are always prepared to provide the right background actors for your scenes. And there's no reason to wait to begin project set-ups; our casting and payroll staff are ready to hit the ground running on prep work during pre-production. By filling out your account paperwork and scheduling your team's SmartVoucher training (if necessary), you can help us make sure both our teams are fully prepared when filming begins.

Providing the highest level of client service is a priority for our casting directors. They recognize the value of attending production meetings virtually or in person to build professional relationships with multiple departments, ensuring our staff and your crew are on the same page about your background requirements. They look forward to receiving your meeting invites and meeting you on set during your production's run.

Our casting staff regularly look for opportunities to optimize background profiles and our talent onboarding teams continue to sign up new background actors. This means that not only does Central Casting have the largest background database constantly adding fresh faces, but our casting directors can search for more relevant and recent attributes to book the right looks for your scenes.

Want to streamline how you track background actor pay information? SmartVoucher, Entertainment Partners’ pioneering digital voucher technology, is an end-to-end solution that takes the hassle out of paying background actors. SmartVoucher's new features, including simpler check-in and wrap procedures, customizable views you can tailor to your workflows, and increased insights on how the workday is progressing, make it easier than ever to manage voucher information on set.

We are excited for the opportunity to partner with your production. Contact us today if you have any questions about getting your project set up, would like to schedule a SmartVoucher demo or want to learn more about Central Casting's premium casting services.
